There is too much to lose by failing, and too much to gain by succeeding. We must say no to failure.
We have a wonderful Readership, but the truth is that most believe that “someone else” should pay for Reader Supported News.
That mindset is causing huge problems.
Reader Supported News, embrace the concept, reap the benefits.
In earnest.
